How on earth do we handle this? I’m really trying to talk myself into keeping the name, but it doesn’t sit right… “I cant handle this level of awkward, I’m really not good with stuff like this.” The post attracted a flurry of comments from other Mumsnet users willing to help. “Can you use that as the middle name so she can just add the “new” first name to the front?” ScamOrNoScam suggested.

She could then add his name to the tattoo. To be honest she was a bit premature to do it after only two weeks but I definitely would not want to upset my MIL so I’d try to find a compromise,” Vallmo47 said. IncompleteSenten, meanwhile, proposed another solution: “She can have laser removal or a cover up.” “Or suggest MIL gets a pet and uses the name?!,” Littlebirdyouaresosweet wrote.

It was entirely her decision, and not something most people would do. You’re entirely within your rights to change your minds, it’s still very early days and you’re only getting to know him.” User WingingItSince1973 also said: “If you want to change his name then do so. It’s not your fault she rushed out and had it (weirdly) tattooed onto her body. He’s your baby and his name will be his for life. She can get her tattoo altered or use that name as a middle one but only if you want to.”
